That's a reasonable course of action Signman.
Any standard PC more than just a few years old is barely worth repairing. Even upgrading can prove not to be cost effective,
I always worry that the motherboard may have been damaged by the faulty PSU when presented with a situation like your's.

Until recently I always built my own PC and so ended up with a monster tower. It had 2 optical drives and two removable hard drive bays at the front and 4 hard drives inside.
Due to a noisy short circuit to earth at one of the motherboard mounting screws (my fault but it took over 2 years to show itself) I lost the data on 2 of the internal hard drives, they were completly corrupted.
I bought a well known brand of PC to replace it.
